Not experienced this in previous 2 pregnancies before and looking for reassurance/advice. I'm now nearly 11 weeks and have been suffering with this now for nearly a week. No one else in household experiencing the same, 2DS and DH, and we have all been eating the same. Could it be pregnancy related??!
Also, what can I take? If anything
Thanks in advance

Had this in both pg so far, the first from 8-12 weeks, current one 5-16 weeks. Moving seamlessly on to being the other way!! I was told its normal.

This was the 1st pregnancy sign I had with both ds's-it was awful and lasted about a week.
I'm now nearly 10 weeks and from weeks 4-8 it was so bad,that my doctor prescribed some Codeine Phosphate which I have been taking.I still have it now but not nearly as bad as the earlier weeks.
Really feel for you-I literally couldn't leave the house for 4 weeks,even to go to the doctor.My prescription was done via the telephone!

I had it with DCs 4 & 5 but not with the others.

Very annoying. It passed (scuse the pun) after a month or so.

Yes, I've had this too. More or less throughout the whole of my first pregnancy (sorry).

This time I've had it until about week 17. I'm now 24 weeks and seem to go from one extreme to the other.
